How To Work Creatively
Being in the creative design industry is a really challenging experience. Sometimes we find ourselves running out of fresh ideas and our creativity might even possibly come to a screeching halt. Discover with local design studio founder Carlsson Chee on how you can work creatively without compromising much on the creative output of your work while being able to cut slack on certain stuff so that you might concentrate better on the more important ones.

Photoshop CS6 Survival Kit
Are you still wondering whether to upgrade to CS6 or not? Adobe Community Professional Stefano Virgilli (Vox Lab Singapore) will clear your ideas in a 20 minutes open talk. What stayed, what improved and what disappeared in Photohop CS6.

Blending modes: Photoshop CS6 vs After Effects CS6
Everyone is familiar with Overlay, Multiply and Screen, but what is the advantage of using Add instead of Screen, and when should we use Darken rather than Multiply? Also, discover with Adobe Community Professional Stefano Virgilli (Vox Lab Singapore) the extra Blending Modes available only in Adobe After Effects... Maybe one day they will be in Photoshop too.

Interactive Web Content for Non-Developers
Since the depreciation of Flash as a tool for building animated and interactive content, we have been looking for a platform that helps designers, educators and regular web users in creating attractive web sites. In this presentation, we will introduce Hype. Hype looks a lot like Flash when you design content but the output is in HTML 5. This means that your website will work on iPad, iPhones and any desktop or mobile web browser. We will build a mini presentation complete with animations, buttons, transitions and videos in 10 minutes.
